Followup-To: comp.os.386bsd.questions Date: 25 Aug 1994 23:24:46 GMT Organization: Andersen Consulting - Minneapolis Lines: 26 Distribution: world Message-ID: <33j97u$9sd@nsmmfs07.nsm.ac.com> Reply-To: ginsbab@ac.com NNTP-Posting-Host: andersen.ac.com Has anyone successfully installed NetBSD & FreeBSD on the same disk at the same time? Meaning that both are bootable (if you use something like os-bs, BootEasy etc). I can get both installed each with its own bootstap if I do the following: 1. Install NetBSD (had to use FreeBSD to label disk - Yes it was me with the Disklabel/Install woes). Place NetBSD bootstrap on disk, etc. 2. Change ID of NetBSD partition to something other than 165, so that FreeBSD does not see it. FreeBSD labels disk and places its bootstrap. Now here is what happens. If I leave NetBSD partition marked as something other than 165 (I used 164), FreeBSD boots (no matter which partition is set up in os-bs). If I change the ID of NetBSD partition to 165 then only NetBSD boots (etc). Am I over looking something. Anyone have any ideas? --- Brian Ginsbach
